Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 18 years

Say hello to Bilbo baggins and Baileys! Bilbo is a 18 year old, 8.2hh, dark bay, Shetland, gelding who is ready to find his home as a non-ridden companion. Baileys is a 13 year old, 10hh, Dun, Shetland, mare who is ready to find her home as a non-ridden companion. Bilbo Baggins and Baileys are an adorable pair of Shetland ponies looking for a home where they can stay together, enjoy a consistent routine, and continue building their confidence. Baileys is always the first to greet you at the gate and is keen to see what you’re up to. Bilbo can be affectionate on his own terms and enjoys spending time with people once he feels comfortable. Both ponies love a good belly scratch and are naturally curious, often wanting to be involved in whatever is going on around them. Stabling/Shelter Companionship Forage & Feed Feet & Teeth Vices Vet & Medication Stabling/Shelter: Both ponies currently live out 24/7 on a track system with access to a shelter and are happiest when they have plenty of time outdoors. While they will both settle well in a stable when needed, they do prefer living outside. Companionship: Bilbo and Baileys share a very strong bond and love being together. They take great comfort in each other’s company and can become unsettled when separated. As a result, we are seeking a home where they can remain together, allowing them to continue enjoying their close companionship and familiar routine. Keeping them as a pair will help them feel secure, settled, and happy in their new environment. Forage/Feed: No regular feed but both will have a little bit of Happy hoof every now and again, on 24/7 grazing. Medication: N/A Farrier: Both are good for the farrier and are barefoot. Dentist: Sedated as standard Bransby Horses procedure. Vices: N/A Vet: Baileys does feel the cold during the winter months and benefits from appropriate rugging and shelter during poor weather. She has occasionally experienced locking stifle; however, this is easily managed and is rarely an issue when she is kept out of the elements, with access to either a stable or a field shelter. With suitable management, Baileys remains happy and comfortable in her day-to-day routine.

What life with Bilbo baggins and Baileys looks like

Bilbo baggins and Baileys is a senior mixed breed horse waiting at Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare in Lincoln.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

Adopting Bilbo baggins and Baileys, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bilbo baggins and Baileys?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bilbo baggins and Baileys on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bilbo baggins and Baileys if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Bilbo baggins and Baileys already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most horses on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Bilbo baggins and Baileys isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bilbo baggins and Baileys and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
